In 1817 the women of the church organized the Female Charitable Society. The ladies wished to “spend a portion of their time in an agreeable and useful manner for the promotion of several important objects”. The name of the organization was changed to the Ladies Charitable Society in 1872 and in 1928 the Missionary Society merged with them to form the Women’s Union. By the 1940’s there were many active women’s groups within the church.

This photo is not dated in our collection but since some of these ladies were from the Class of 1899 it’s probably from before 1910.
